j0ekerr: Good morning or late night to some.
I didn't notice the 60,000 post, celebrations are in order, let us toast with the blood of our enemies or alternatively with a good beer, Guiness for me please.
That's a nice weekend promo to coincide with GamesCon. Although it is somewhat baffling that almost everything should be adventure games of the point & click variety.
Maybe I should get Primordia, what's it like?
I always seem to forget about the Humble Bundle which is good in a way because I already have far too many games I haven't played.
Mornoon, Jokes *tips helmet*
So, I'm assuming this Adventure games promo was already planned, and they threw the word "Gamescom" on it at the last moment, maybe to attract more views? Whatever, I'm not complaining. There are some great games (although I already have what I'm interested in.) I recommend all the Wadjet Eye games to anyone who likes point and click adventures. Blackwell if you prefer a great story, Resonance if puzzles are what matter most, they all have great atmosphere but I think Primordia really excels in that department.
I'm in the middle of Primordia right now (I'm guessing about halfway), and I'm really liking it. Has a great feel to it, like being stranded in a 1970's sci-fi movie. It reminds me a lot of Alien in particular. It makes me feel genuinely lonely sometimes, even when someone is playing with me. The story so far is interesting; I'm not even sure what my original objective was, because I'm more involved in learning the history of the planet at this point.
Puzzles are fun, and challenging without being too frustrating.
One criticism I have is that the main character is quite bland so far. I can't even remember his name right now. But, his sarcastic sidekick brings a good balance.
So far, I'd place it as my third favourite Wadjet Eye game (behind the
entire Blackwell series, which I count as one game, and Resonance) and I'm not even done with it yet.
Ah - I guess Crow's explanation about the sale makes more sense ;-)
